The crucial events in aerobic respiration are:
A: The partial oxidation of pyruvate by the stepwise removal of all the hydrogen atoms, leaving six molecules of CO2.
B: The passing on of the electrons removed as part of the hydrogen atoms to molecular O2 with simultaneous synthesis of ATP.
1. Only A is correct
2. Only B is correct
3. Both A and B are correct
4. Both A and B are incorrect

For aerobic respiration to take place within the mitochondria, the final product of glycolysis, pyruvate:
1. is transported from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria.
2. undergoes oxidative decarboxylation in the cytosol.
3. is reduced to lactate in liver.
4. is transported from the cytoplasm first into the Golgi apparatus, where it is packaged and then transported into the mitochondrion.

Pyruvate, which is formed by the glycolytic catabolism of carbohydrates in the cytosol:
1. undergoes oxidative decarboxylation in cytosol itself by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic kinase.
2. undergoes reduction in cytosol itself by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic dehydrogenase.
3. undergoes oxidative decarboxylation in mitochondrial matrix by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic dehydrogenase.
4. undergoes oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondrial matrix by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic decarboxylase.
